I am trying to help a family member replace the lower ball joints on a 1971 culass supreme. I have the tools and wheel off. Fork and press. I am looking at it now and it looks harder than I thought since this is my first time attempting a ball joint replacement. Can anyone help me out and provide detailed steps to take in lame mens terms or direct me to a manual or guide online that I may have missed. Thanks in advance.

Because of the nature of this type of repair, I recommend getting a repair manual with step by step instructions and pictures to identify parts. For me to try to explain this via the internet allows too much room for error.
